I’m skeptical, but the technique looks very simple, quick, and easy for a lower effort meal.

    I have never done this myself either, as I love cooking with very salty water and then draining the excess. I like how if allows just the right amount of saltiness in the pasta itself. And that doesn’t work the same way, if you keep all of the cooking water.

    But I know that this is a popular technique that has been around for a good while now. I personally haven’t felt the need to add it to my repertoire, but I don’t think it’s wrong per se. So, yes, go ahead and give it a try. If you like it, keep cooking that way. If you don’t like it, then at least you understand what you enjoy about your current way of making pasta dishes.
